I feel as though Tomic may be over confident for the AO this year. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but he just said in a recent interview that he feels unbeatable right now. If Fed can take the first set in the same manner as last year, the kid will be rattled.

Also, nothing against the players, but the calibre of players in the Sydney draw is a big difference from coming up against one of the top 10 in a slam (obviously).

Well I'm sure Roddick felt pretty good about himself in 07 after beating Fed in Kooyong. Then Fed won the first set at AO then...........yeah.........

The thing is, one of these days someone is gonna break through. Federer is 31 now, he could have a bad day or sth. like that. Tomic's confidence is skyrocket-high right now, since he won his first title this week and hasn't lost a match this year yet. It's also his home tournament. I'd be a bit wary tbh. We'll see, I guess.

Yes, Federer should be worried, Tomic is young and full of confidence he has nothing to lose. Tomic just won his first ATP tour title in Sydney and he's going to give Federer a real fight if they meet in the third round.
